Does your 32-bit application actually use the inode numbers? Or is it just trying to read other metadata (such as filenames in a directory, file sizes, etc)? If it's the latter, you could use LD_PRELOAD to wrap the calls and return fake/mangled inode numbers (since the application doesn't care about them anyway).

When it is enabled, ceph-fuse maps 64bits inode numbers to 32bits. It works as long as client has less than 2^32 inodes cached. So far there is no kernel client counterpart.
